I've thought about this a bit since we received news of Randy's passing. I never had a problem, or even a cross word with him, and I was always puzzled by some of the more unpleasant exchanges that surrounded him. I think that PPOT is like a Rorschach test. Many have been on this board for years, so we've gotten to know each other a bit. With that level of familiarity, some posters have developed a way of reading particular people's posts a certain way. For some reason, when a lot of people saw Randy's posts they had a visceral reaction to the author and saw dragons instead of butterflies and the fur started to fly. I suspect that if someone else had written some of his posts they wouldn't have drawn some of the ire that he reveled in.

Maybe the Dragons they see are stitched to my azz on the Dragin azz jeans.
